The only Italian I ever picked up was from La vita è bella on repeat mode back when I was 15 and had my head in the clouds (is that why you call kids wet-behind-the-ears), words including Principessa and Buongiorno… well that’s about it really. A few years back I’d been in Rome with my mother and picked up the few key words that helps you get around, but for the life of me couldn’t remember what Thank You was when I landed in Milan a few days ago to join Pennyblack for Vogue Fashion Night Out. So I muttered something along the lines of ‘Grassy Ass’ and got off the cab, then realised that it’s actually 1) Spanish 2) slightly insulting 3) terribly dumb… Ah anyway. It’s the eve of LFW, but here’s a bit of Milan for you.

My favorite picture is the one of the man in the blue jacket: the blue is just so vibrant and rich. His hair has also just the perfect swirl of grey and black — aha, that’s not creepy is it :) Where was the last picture taken?

For a moment, I thought you had said, “Gassy Ass” and had a childish chuckle. “Grassy Ass” is pretty funny, too, though, so the chuckling continued. Stunning photography–I must have stared at the bike photo for at least 1 whole minute, which is saying a lot for someone who moves at the speed of …er …something really fast… when browsing through her favourite blogs.

I always look forward to reading your posts, your photographs are so beautiful I spend so long soaking it up before moving on to the next one. Love the bokeh on the last one, and the mannequin heads are brilliant! Can’t wait to see pt.2!
